Incredible physician. I was pulled into a meeting and hence was 15 minutes late. Not only did Dr. Shawl take me but he provided excellent care without rushing me out.

Dr. Shawl is extremely competent, professional and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend if you are in need of an ENT.

I had this issue with my ear that I couldn't figure out for almost a whole year. I had been to another doctor before who wanted to perform surgery for a deviated septum, but I decided to get a second opinion (from Shawl). I had to see Dr. Shawl a few times over the course of a couple months and without giving you the whole long story of everything we did and tried, it was because of him and the allergist he sent me to that I discovered my issue stemmed from a Mold issue in my bathroom. I'm very appreciative to Dr. Shawl for not just sending me to surgery after 3 visits like my previous doctor wanted and for exploring all options to help get to the bottom of the issue. If I ever need an ENT again, I know Dr. Shawl will give me the proper attention and geniunley care.

My actual visit was fine. He sent me to an audiologist to help him figure out what was wrong, so I went to the audiologist and she said everything was fine and that I should be hearing from Dr. Shawl within the week so that he can tell me what the next step was. Over a week later I didn't hear from him, so I called his office and his receptionist put me on hold to ask him what he wants me to do next. Basically I never spoke to him directly over the phone and his receptionist kept going back and forth and finally told me to schedule a followup in 4 weeks....what?!? That made no sense since we never found out what was wrong. I called the audiologist so that she can recommend another ENT and she was shocked when I told her what had happened with Dr. shawl. Dr. Shawl is a nice person with great bedside manners, but it was annoying on how I had to almost harass the receptionist to get my full results and determine what to do next. I probably wouldn't recommend him.

I went in for a consultation about a deviated septum. Since I broke my nose in 2008, my breathing has been significantly restricted, I've experienced a loss of taste, and I've been more susceptible to sinus infections, etc.
Dr. Shawl was extremely pleasant, and had a very genuine aura about him. This was only a consultation, but he was extremely thorough (asking for all the details that led up to the injury, family history, etc.), and he was very informative during my examination. I just went yesterday, but I left with such a good impression that I am very comfortable moving forward on surgery with him. I will report back post-op! May not be until after Thanksgiving or so.

You often get the feeling that you are rushed to make room for another 5 minute patient but that was not the case at all with Dr.Shawl and I was happily surprised.
Most importantly, I felt cared about and he seemed to know right away how to deal with my situation effectively.
I also didn't have to wait at all for neither of my 2 appointments with him, which in my mind confirms that he makes sure to have enough room for his patients instead of cramming his schedule as much as possible.

Very friendly and to the point! I wish he had hearing test equipment so do not need to go to someone else now and then come back for the follow up.

This professional does not have the equipment to test hearing so he sent me to an audiologist instead. I still had to pay him for the 5 minutes of service and I had to pay the audiologist as well. I found the audiologist more helpful for my needs.

I caught a cold and lost hearing in my right ear due to wax blockage. Dr Shawl used an ear vacuum to remove the wax and I could hear perfectly. He even checked the other ear which I kept saying was fine but he checked it anyway. Lo and behold it had lots of wax as well. He removed it and I could hear better! I didn't even notice I had lost hearing because of in comparison to not hearing anything at all in my right ear. He explained things would seem louder than normal for the next day or so and explained why I get more ear wax than other people. He even went over my general health history. I definitely recommend!
